What is the difference between benign and non benign?

Answer 1

benign means cancerous in most cases...ex. doctors will tell if a tumor is benign or not...if it is benign...it contains no cancer cells.....if it is not...then you get the idea..... Benign means non cancerous.

Answer 2

"Benign" means "harmless" and is often used in reference to tumors that are slow growing, well encapsulated, and ultimately not malignant. Non-benign would typically mean malignant (cancerous).

Answer 3

Benign refers to something that is not harmful or life-threatening, while non-benign simply means not benign. Non-benign could include something that is harmful, dangerous, or malignant.
